By default, the system will automatically gang lots or signatures to achieve the most efficient result. Select this option and the system will not automatically gang lots or signatures.
Consider the following example;
Finished Size: 11x17
Press Sheet Size: 19x25
Outs: 2
Number of Lots/Sig: 2 (there are 2 versions)
The estimator may consider that due to the imagery on the brochure it is better to run 2 press sheets (1 for each brochure) to ensure color fidelity, runablity due to press conditions, etc. By default the system will try to run both on the same press sheet. But by checking the Don't Gang Run the Lots/Sigs it forces the system to calculate 2 press forms and increase the plates, makereadies and spoilage based on each press form.
